Having celebrated our 200th anniversary in 2024, Right There remains committed to providing tailored support to
individuals in their homes and communities. We meet people where they are—without judgment—walking alongside
those who need support and working to prevent homelessness and family separation.
Everyone’s journey is unique, and the path home looks different for each person. That’s why we provide individualized
support, challenging stereotypes along the way. No matter the circumstances, we are here to help, not to
judge.
As part of our strategic growth plans and our commitment to delivering the best possible support across our programme
areas, we have created this and two further Head of Service roles. These roles will equip our programmes with
the expertise, strategic direction, and capacity needed to thrive.
About the Role
As our Head of Housing (Temporary Accommodation) you will ensure Right There continues to support adults and families
taking their first steps toward independent living by providing facilitated access to privately rented
properties or removing the barrier of an upfront deposit through our Help to Rent programme. The successful
candidate will be expected to grow both our landlord and property portfolio across Glasgow and explore future
opportunities to deliver accommodation through the private rented sector where need is identified.
Working closely with our maintenance team you will ensure we continually develop this dynamic and consistent service,
which builds on current positive relationships and housing networks, increasing the options for people we
support. Housing standards, health and safety and contractual compliance will be a key focus for this role.
About You
We are looking for an experienced leader with a strong background in delivering Housing and Temporary Accommodation
services and a proven track record in building and maintaining strategic partnerships with local authorities,
funders, commissioners, and partner organisations and relevant experience in the private rented housing
sector.
A strategic thinker with a solutions-focused approach, you will be confident in navigating complexity and driving
sustainable growth. Your expertise in leading innovation, driving service improvement, and embedding data-driven
decision-making will be crucial in ensuring the continued success and impact of our programmes.
If you share our passion of preventing homelessness, one person at a time, for as long as it’s needed, we encourage
you to explore the full role profile below.
